The proposed National
Park would be managed by a Board established by the Minister for the Environment
according to the provisions of Part 4A of the National Parks and Wildlife
Service (NPWS) Act.

Approximately 500ha
of the proposed park area is already owned by the Metrolitan Local Aboriginal
Land Council.

Another approximately
500ha is currently Crown Land gazetted as Oxford Falls Regional Crown
Reserve but now under claim by the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land
Council for the purposes of establishing
Gai-mariagal Aboriginal-owned National Park.

This map has been
produced by the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council.
The pale green areas on the map are being proposed as
Gai-mariagal Aboriginal-owned National Park.
The turquoise areas are Warringah Council reserves.

The
land proposed for Gai-mariagal Aboriginal-owned National Park is in
the
Warringah Local Government area in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia.
On Sept 24, 2013 Warringah
Council unanimously resolved to provide in-principle support
for the establishment of Gai-mariagal National Park and to recognise
the various community groups that have shown their broad support for
the proposal to date.

Rock formations within the proposed area

The
proposed Gai-mariagal Aboriginal-owned National Park, once established,
would protect over 400 Aboriginal heritage sites, several endangered
ecological communities and a number of threatened species of flora and
fauna in the area.

The
operation of the Park would be guided by a detailed Plan of Management
prepared under the provisions of the NPWS Act.

There
are stunning vistas from many parts of the proposed park.

Cultural Centre be established at this locality.
